    Some trolling but there are always people who will jump at any opportunity to “take over” a community and it’s almost always for the wrong reasons.

    Also just a heads up that your user icon isn’t loading from your home instance nor mine.

      Luckily those users usually won’t put in a decent effort to make the place enjoyable. They’ll just contribute to the downfall

        This is very true. Although I’m also seeing some of these same folks seeking mod roles and advocating for centralizing on this side as well.

    • Huh. I wonder why. It’s loading in all of my clients - but, then, I was subscribed to a community on feddit.de, and it disappeared on me about a week later (I simply can’t get to it). I figured there were some defederation shenanigans going on, on one side or the other, but maybe midwest.social is having some issues instead.

      I try to not care about problems with social networking; I find it’s easier to maintain my chill that way.

      Thanks for the heads-up!

        It looks like your instance is still federated with them: https://midwest.social/instances. The community might have just been deleted altogether. You can verify by checking the modlog, which is publicly accessible with Lemmy.

        You probably uploaded your profile picture before a pictrs rollback, which would mean it appears for all of your clients and browsers that have cached it but if you pull up an incognito window it’ll likely be missing. You’ll have to re-upload it for them to show for anyone else. Cheers!
